ADT to Pull Advertising from CNN After Kathy Griffin ‘Beheading’ Photo
Big Hollywood ^ | 5/31/17 | Jerome Hudson

The ADT Corporation, the largest security company in the United States and Canada, announced Wednesday that it will pull its ads from CNN in the wake of the growing drama surrounding a photograph showing Kathy Griffin lifting up a bloodied decapitated head meant to resemble President Donald Trump.

A Twitter user sent ADT a message asking the Florida-based company to “drop CNN.”

“We do not support these views,” ADT responded. “We’ve begun the process of pulling our ads from this network.”

Not sure I’m excited about getting axed and career-killed over an absence of wisdom or perspective. Isn’t that what we accuse the Left of doing?

WE’RE not a destructive bunch of insane assholes. As far as I’m concerned, every leftist in ANY position of authority in this country - teaching, government, the courts - you name it, should be fired, since their career goal is to destroy our society and our country.

Her fake apologies do not matter. She has revealed precisely what she is and what she believes.

Will anyone be dumb enough to provide her with venues to continue her career? Her far-left supporters might show up for her live performances, but now conservatives will show up too. The bloody riots that follow will surprise no one.

So, Mr. or Ms. Venue Owner, what are you willing to pay for event security?

“Freedom of speech means we endure the uncomfortable message and speak back.”

That’s not at all what it means.

Nobody has to endure anything.

No. 1st A does not provide blanket coverage for every form of speech. Hers was illegal.

“Freedom of speech means we endure the uncomfortable message and speak back.”

Freedom to speak as you wish does NOT absolve you of the consequences of your speech or actions.

CNN needed a Sister Souljah moment and this is it. The new establishment liberal meme is “act reasonably not cray-cray”.

Still, they persist:

I can’t stand her and took a shot at her on twitter but was shocked to see a tweet for the Troops from her on Memorial Day.

Broken Clock.

But but but...

Q. Doesn’t the first amendment protect her against government prosecution?
A: Yes ( regardless of how tasteless and disgusting it was) you can dress up in a KKK outfit with sheets and goose-step like a Nazi on YouTube all you want.

Q: can your private employer fire you for embarrassing them?
A. Yes

Q: can private citizens crucify you?
A: Hell yes

“I can’t stand her and took a shot at her on twitter”

I probably wore out my “welcome” on FB trashing her today. And the good news is she had no defenders. What a worthless POS. This generation’s Jane Fonda. She’s going to have to hire food tasters and someone to start her car.

You are being kind.

But we need to draw a line somewhere or we’ll be bombarded with disgusting stuff like this all the time.

She insulted anyone who’s ever had a family member beheaded by fanatics. Their feelings were worthless to her. Decent people have to say “No” to this. Perhaps other “artists” who are considering something equally disgusting will learn from her chastisement and the world will be a kinder place.

Exactly. And might I add, the biotch miscalculated. She planned this out based on a 2014 world. 2017 is a world in which DJT won the presidency. We the people now have a whole new confidence and power. Crap like this WILL have consequences.

Freedom of speech is fine but it comes with responsibilty.She should have been smart enough to realize that that was going to piss off a lot of people(SHE DIDNT CARE UNTIL IT WAS TOO DAMNED LATE).Now she is paying for her actions because they can have consequences.
